who do you consider the baddest men in boxing history ?

[Boofdatruth]

Yes he was.

You guys are truly pathetic lol. Robbed??? Why don't you go check the scores of the fight.

The baddest man on the planet is really talking about heavyweights. Who cares about a middle weight or anything under? Baddest is people are scared of them and do crazy things and say a lot crazy things. That title unquestionably belongs to Tyson no one else. Duran that man who quitted is the baddest???

Duran did quit. Look how many times mike quit. lol

I have only been around since the 80's so Im only gonna comment on from then until now. The baddest man I have seen in Boxing is Mike Tyson. Not because he was the best fighter I have ever seen, not because he beat all the best fighters, but because he was one of those champs where everyone pretty much agreed that he was a bad mother ****er. Alot of guys he fought (pre Douglas) were ready to piss themselves before the fight even started. Mike also had amazing one punch KO's that made it on all of the highlight reels on the news and sportscenter. Everyone knew when Mike was fighting, even the most casual of fans. Also, Mike LOOKED like a tough guy. Like a guy you wouldnt ever mess with. Plus, he gave us "Punch Out." That is one of the best games ever.

Barrera was a killer in the ring. Young Foreman, Dempsey, Hagler. If we're speaking of real (personal) life, probably Monzon, he was an animal and a freak of nature. More like what Tyson talked himself up to be than Tyson ever was (with all the attendant issues).

Barrera was also a killer outside of it.

Sonny liston was a pretty bad man

That's my top choice. He was one scary mother****er in his day. There are stories that when he was in prison he had a standing offer to fight any two inmates at once if there was money to be won.
